Mrs. a. l.. Noble entertained few
friends last Saturday night. Vocal and
instrumental music were freely indulg-
ed in. Elegant refreshments were serv-
ed, and the evening passed so pleasant
ly that it was near mid night before the
guests took their leave.
Another man has left Medicine Lodge
without saying good bye. ID. NJ. Dick
ersOn, who made leather shirt fronts,
collars and cuffs in Murphey's shop,
left several days since with Miss An
derson, of this city. He hired team
Of DOran & Roberts and drove TO Kiowa
and was to have returned here the next
day. About five days afterward the
proprietors were notified that their
team were at Crisfeld. Last week
DickersOn and the girl walked into
Drums ranch south Of KiOwa and
asked for lodging, and they were &C
cOmmOdated. Their story was that
they had been married year, but had
never been able to make up with their
relations. DickersOn left the girl at the
ranch and went south on the railroad.
The girl was hauled to KiOwa when
Abner Wilson, who had received a let
ter from DlckersOn, gave her money to
follow him up. They are likely down
in the Panhandle, somewhere. If they
have had marriage ceremony perform
ed, no one knows of it. Dickerson
beat several perrons in this city out of
small amounts.
The ladies of the Presbyterian aid
society held a social, last Thursday
night, at the residence of Judge d. A.
McCanleSs. The house was crowded
from parlOr to kitchen, up stairs and
down stairs, and the pOrches were even
occupied. Everybody seems to be on
intimate terms with the family, and all
made themselves at home. Miss Cha
pin won a reputation for her singing
and playing. Many were present who
had never heard her, but the very first
tones of her highly cultivated voice Sc
cured the closest attention, and as the
song progressed all other things were
forgotten. Mr.. Schiller delighted the
audience by his whistling the mock
ing Bird" and playing a piano accom-
paniment. He was eDcored, and gave
another selection, nearly as good. We
have heard whistling and whiscling, by
amateurs and professionals, but have
never heard his knocking bird" excel
led by any one. Refreshments were
served to all, and there was no standing
up and crowding around the table. We
think Mrs. AtcCanless must have In &.
vented the self-adjustable table for two,
1t is good scheme. \ collection was
taken, amounting to about SO. About
half an hour was spent in cengrega-
tlOnal singing of old songs, and the
crowd broke up. This was, perhaps,
the largest crowd that ever met at a
private residence in this place for q
church social. 1t was thoroughly en-
joyed by all.
